From prostrations to subscriptions: Let us attend!
PTVM Young Adults
With the saints give rest, O Lord,
to the souls of Your servants,
where there is neither sickness nor sorrow,
and no more sighing,
but life everlasting.
Today, Memorial Saturday, we remember all pious and Orthodox Christians who have fallen asleep in the Lord, and also recall the dread Day of Judgment. May Christ our God be merciful to them, and to us.
Forgive the quick follow-up – we know it hasn't been long since our last email! But we wanted to give a friendly nudge about three things:
Our quest to hit 50 subscribers on the PTVM YouTube channel.
The Small Entrance, the Great Entrance, and the YouTube Subscribe Entrance
As PTVM works towards smoother online services, we're trying out YouTube. To unlock some helpful livestreaming features, we need to hit 50 subscribers on our new PTVM YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@PTVM-Orthodox-Church
Subscribing is quick and easy, and it will really help us improve our ability to share services remotely. Even if you never watch live (attending in person is ideal), your subscription gets us closer to this goal. Thanks for your support in making our online presence better!
Lenten lecture (TODAY)
Join us this evening for the General Panikhida at 5:30pm, followed by Great Vespers at 6pm, and then a lecture at approximately 7pm by Fr. Nicholas Denysenko. The lecture is entitled “Lament and Joy: Orthodox Lenten Liturgy.” This is a lecture that breaks open the meaning and purpose of the Church’s Lenten worship. Refreshments provided.
